2 positives I picked up from the game last night

10 posts in this topic

With all the talk about Jacobs being that indestructable back...did anyone else crack a smile when Harris jacked up Jacobs at the goal line

Also, Mark Jones seems to be that "one tackle away" from breaking into the open field for a Touchdown on Punt and kick off returns, he seems to always get to that second level...seems like a much better option then Robinson, and could turn out to be a key player in the playoffs.

Yeah, that was a nice hit. I'm really liking how Jones is turning out for us, he could become a feared return man at some point. I'd like to see us block a little better for him. Though he needs to not assume every ball behind him is going to roll in the end zone, we've gone up against great punters who've pinned us because of that assumption.

Here's what I'm happy about. The Giants are cocky. They think they just gashed us for 300 yards on the ground. Well they did so against Hayden and Gibson. Ward is going to have a rude awakening when he tries to go up the middle and finds Kemo using up two blockers and the only hole has Beason poised on the other side of it.

Also, Brayton had a pretty goos night

And finally, I still think there's a chance the Giants don't even make it to the NFC championship game. And if we win next week, we'll get to host it.

I'm with you Joat. We played good ball in a lot of places. We showed up ready to play and didn't get blown out. Giants have been an awesome team all year, this was our measuring stick with the defending Super Bowl Champs. We're ready to contend (once we shore up this run defense haha). We will learn from this and it will make the playoffs that much more exciting when we head back to Jersey.

Yeah, along with those 2 positives, I was pissed we lost, but every team falls, its how they get back up that matters.

If it wasnt for the run game against us, that game would have been UGLY.

This team is different from panther teams of the past, it seems they have yet to get a "big head" like teams of past, then get fall on their faces when it counts...this team plays great against great teams. Alot of that has to do with chemistry I believe, and everyone seems to be on the same page, just the run couldn't be stopped last night. Other then that, we played an overall solid game.
